We find ourselves many times in our lives keeping our guard up by learning from past moments. Those moments when we have tried to open ourselves up to someone like a friend, family, partners, anyone which they respond in the wrong way.

They don't take us seriously so we learned that we shouldn't let our guard down to open ourselves up to others for the fear of getting hurt. Like this quote in New Years Eve, all of us can relate in our own ways!

And as you all can see, the ball has stopped half way to its perch. it's suspended there to remind us before we pop the champagne and celebrate the new year, to stop, and reflect on the year that has gone by, to remember both our triumphs and our missteps, our promises made and broken, the times we opened ourselves up to great adventures... or closed ourselves down for fear of getting hurt, because that's what new year's all about , getting another chance, a chance to forgive. to do better, to do more, to give more, to love more, and to stop worrying about what if... and start embracing what will be. so when that ball drops at midnight, and it will drop, let's remember to be nice to each other, kind to each other, and not just tonight but all year long.
